Chapter 466: A Very Short Wind (Part 2)

The night wind is like a knife.

More than 20,000 Liao troops were like tigers, and with a louder whistling sound, they plunged into the long Song army camp.

However, according to Huyelu Xizhen's expectation, the Song army was very prepared. Before the Liao army arrived, a rain of arrows flew over the sky. As the Liao army braved the rain of arrows into the Song army's camp, many spearmen came out and used the fences of the military camp to stab the spears desperately out.

After a brief bloody battle, after the Liao army entered the Song camp, a group of swords and axes poured out to cut off the Liao army's horse hooves.

He is truly a true scholar under his reputation.

Yelu Xizhen couldn't help but sigh.

To this day, some people in the Liao Kingdom do not admire Yelu Xizhen very much. If Yelu Xiuge had not been defeated twice, some people would have questioned Xiao Yanyan's heavy use of him.

However, Yelu Xizhen knew the combat effectiveness of the Song army very well. In the battle of Matou Mountain, Guo Jin's fierceness is still deeply engraved. If the Song Dynasty emperor had not been foolish and forced to death that brave general, perhaps the battlefields of Gaoliang River and Qigou Pass were another situation.

Even after several battles in the mountain, he defeated Pan Mei and won the same victory. Therefore, he was not absolutely sure and generally did not fight the Song army.

However, the most terrifying thing is that another group of brave generals of the Song Dynasty have grown up one after another.

Looking at the Liao Kingdom again, even famous generals such as Xiao Talin lacked command ability.

The Liao Kingdom looks powerful now, but it is actually at a time of life and death.

Thinking of this, he personally took a photo of his horse and rushed towards Song Jun.

The chief general worked hard and the morale of the three armies became stronger.

The battlefield was in chaos, but under the desperate attack of Yelu Xizhen, the Liao army, which had a disadvantage in the army, gradually gained the upper hand.

However, it is not enough.

At the same time, the trumpet was sounded in Yingzhou City, and a group of Liao troops rushed out of the city.

Seeing that the Gaoliang River tragedy was about to take place under the attack inside and outside. Suddenly, the Song army raised four large flags, one of which was Song, and behind it was a nine-character. There were two flags, both of which were Li. One big and one small, the big Li flag was Li Jilong. The little Li flag was Li Chonghui. The last flag was Zhang, Zhang Ning!

Li Jilong was famous, and Li Chonghui had a little miserable reputation. He was the guy who was captured alive by Yang Yesheng in the battle of Yanmen Pass. But he could not be underestimated. After the Song Dynasty, he was valued by Zhao Kuangyi and went to serve as the commander of the Eighteen Forts on the border of Xinzhou Metropolitan Inspection. Pan Mei was defeated and retreated to Taiyuan. A group of Liao troops invaded Xinzhou and was defeated by Li Chonghui.

However, Li Chonghui has used other benefits this time.

Tian Minjing's army has many shortcomings, but when using them at the right time, it has great lethality.

After all, the Song Dynasty focused on defense and attacks as the auxiliary. Even if Song Jiu changed his strategy, it was still a shallow attack, rather than a real Northern Expedition.

Therefore, Yu Hedong secretly trained a heavy armored cavalry and handed them over to Li Chonghui. Li Chonghui did not dare to accept it. Song Jiu did his ideological work, first of all, you are a Han Chinese. If you don’t mention Qiang Han anymore, the emperor will not regard you as a general of Liao and value you, you will have to repay the emperor, just like Yang Ye was loyal to His Majesty.

After persuading for a long time, Li Chonghui agreed.

They were trained in a valley in Xinzhou, and they were only brought out until now. Zhao Kuangyi personally named the Northern Recruiting Army, which means that Yan Yun was about to return. They were all carefully selected by the children of Hedong.

Another one is the Zhongfan Army trained on the Gobi Desert in the Nanhetao River. Therefore, the name implies that they are all heavy armored troops composed of Fanzi.

The two armies have not many troops, each with one thousand troops.

The main reason is that it is too expensive and has limited financial resources, so it can only be said.

In order to keep it a secret, all the heavy armored swords were put into the baggage truck together. After the Song army arrived in Huanzhou, Li Jilong and Song Jiu secretly came to the army, and the central army protected them, but no news was disclosed.

Seeing two heavy cavalry running out of the army in a desperate manner, and looking at the two big flags, all the Song army cheered.

"I fell into a trap." Yelu Xizhen thought to himself.

At this time, two heavy cavalry had already pounced into the Liao army, and the story of the Tanghe battle was staged again. The two heavy cavalry once again looked like terrifying chainsaws, and countless blood waves of corpses were splattered everywhere.

"Retreat!" Yelu Xizhen shouted.

And he calmly gave an order: "Send people into the city and let Yelu Guanu prepare to retreat."

As soon as his two orders were finished, three light cavalrymen came out of the Song army again, Yang Ye, Yin Jilun, and Yang Si.

This is Yang Ye's final battle. At this time, he turned into a tiger, which is even more eye-catching than Yin Jilun's performance.

The Liao army was defeated.

After striking all the way to the banks of the Sanggan River, the Song army slowly withdrew their troops. But that was the case, Yelu Xizhen gathered more than 10,000 troops and horses back.

On the other side, Yelu Guanu also fled to the east with the remaining Yingzhou defenders.

After this battle, Yanmen Mountain and Liao border north of Hengshan were transformed into an unguarded area. Since ancient times, Shuoying's animal husbandry has developed and captured several times. Cattle and sheep are everywhere in the rear of Hedong, and the number of officials and horses in the Song Dynasty almost reached more than 200,000.

But this battle has nothing to do with the entire plan, it was Li Jilong's personal request. There was no way. Now there are many soldiers and many generals, and there are two powerful weapons in the North Gun Army and the Zhongfan Army. Li Jilong always had to compete with Yelu Xizhen. So he set up this loophole and lured Yelu Xizhen to take action.

If he fought and defeated, it was of great significance. However, Li Jilong did not dare to underestimate Yelu Xizhen anymore. If he did not have good organizational skills and the ability to lead the army, he might be able to swallow Yelu Xizhen and his troops under Yingzhou City.

While cleaning the battlefield, the Song army sent a light cavalry to go out of Shijie Pass. He heard that Yingzhou was broken again and even Yelu Xizhen was defeated. When the Liao army guarding the pass heard that the Song army was attacking, he had already fled.

Yang Ye and the other two continued to lead their troops to Lingqiu County, but there were only 40,000 troops and horses. They marched towards Lingqiu. There were more mountain roads, and the more troops they brought, the more difficult the supply was. But it was enough. However, they still had an important task for this trip...

Song Jiu, Li Jilong and Zhang Ning returned to Shuozhou and continued to have a stalemate.

Li Chonghui stayed in Yingzhou, and he was from Yingzhou. He came to speak out, which was more effective than anyone else. Soon this wide river channel became a new idle field, with a flat valley that was hundreds of miles long, and there was almost no trace of people.

Li Chonghui slowly returned to Shuozhou and saw Song Jiu and said, "Duke Song, Yelu Xizhen was frustrated and could use troops to Yunzhou."

"General Li, too many people have died."

“Charity…”

"I know that Ci is not in charge of the army, but so many good children disappear at my current moment... Suddenly I understand why the Peacock King wants to become a monk."

Li Chonghui and Li Jilong looked at each other and could do anything else, so they had to sigh.

...

Yelu Xuegu looked at the information on the table and was in a bad mood.

The defeat of Yelu Xizhen made him feel disappointed, but it was reasonable. The main battlefield of the Song army was behind the mountain, gathering all the elite soldiers and generals, as well as the first prime minister of the Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom temporarily placed the main battlefield in Liaodong. With Yelu Xizhen's ability, it would not be an accident that victory would be changed, but it would change the situation. If it fails, it cannot be blamed. The main general was a powerful general who defeated Yelu Xiuge twice.

But he still has a piece of intelligence in his hand.

Yelu Xiuge went to Liaodong first.

Wu Xuanming was attacking Chenzhou City. Chenzhou officials moved the people to the city in advance, and the walls were cleared. Wu Xuanming had to transport the grain and grass from the rear.

Yelu Xiu Ge took the opportunity to launch an attack on this team of 3,000 grain escorts.

However, this time Yelu Xiuge made another mistake.

The main general of the escort was Shi Pu. He had more than a dozen analysis of the battles leading Yelu Xiuge in his hand. He deliberately said a few points: Yelu Xiuge liked to rob food and grass, liked harassment wars, liked mobile wars and field wars, some won, and some lost.

Therefore, Shi Pu came up with a bold plan.

Yelu Xiuge led his troops to pounce, Shi Pu led three thousand Jurchen soldiers and thousands of civilians to retreat, leaving behind nearly two thousand baggage trucks, and ignored the scattered one-character snake formation. Yelu Xiuge did not chase him, but ordered the preparation to burn the baggage truck.

Suddenly, all the baggage trucks lifted the hood themselves, and Jurchen warriors emerged from it, some holding bows and some holding spears, shooting towards the Liao soldiers coming.

Yelu Xiu Ge's subordinates were in chaos, and Shi Pu took the opportunity to kill him from afar.

Caught off guard, Yelu Xiuge was defeated.

This battle lost thousands of soldiers, it doesn't matter. It's awful these few months. I don't know how many thousands of soldiers died. The key is that the god of Liao Kingdom was defeated again. Yelu Xiuge's failure again and again greatly affected the morale of the Liao army.

"It seems that the Northeast has not been able to calm down for a while." Yelu Xuegu sighed, then looked at the big map of Youzhou.

If the Song Dynasty only wanted to take over Yizhou, it would be fine if Yelu Xuegu.

It turned out that the Song Dynasty controlled the eastern part of Yizhou, but the western Zijingling Mountains were always under the hands of the Liao Kingdom, so the communication between the Liao army's Zijingling Mountains and Feihu Pass could not be stopped. The eastern part of Yizhou was a flat plain, and it could not be stopped from the Liao Kingdom from moving south.

So after Yizhou fell, the Song Dynasty simply made up its mind and threw Yizhou away.

After the Liao Kingdom obtained Yizhou, it also wanted to run it.

However, under the Song Dynasty's shallow attack tactics, the Liao Kingdom also found that it was difficult to defend.

Therefore, Yizhou has not only made the Song Dynasty a free land, but also almost became a useless piece of ribs.

However, the problem is not. This time, the main attack direction of the Song Dynasty was obviously not in front of the mountain, but behind the mountain. Why did it use troops to Yizhou? The reason is very simple, that is, Zijingling and Feihu Pass. If anyone who is a little smarter will choose, they will also choose Zijingling and Feihu Pass rather than the central and eastern Yizhou.

As long as the Song Dynasty captured Zijingling and attacked from north to south, Feihu Pass would inevitably be lost.

Then Hebei and Hedong of the Song Dynasty would form a whole, and even Hebei would draw out most of the troops to Weizhou continuously, and then follow the Sanggan River to take Fengshengzhou. Fengshengzhou’s ancient place name was Zhuolu, which was then called the real Zhuolu world. Even the entire mountain behind was taken down. If the Song Dynasty sent those foreign soldiers north to Yinshan, Yelu Xizhen could be locked in Datong!

Yelu Xuegu had no choice but to save himself. He pulled out a group of people from the poor soldiers in Youzhou to support Yizhou, and ordered Xiao Shunu to lead five thousand soldiers from the new city to rescue Yizhou City.

After receiving the order, Xiao Shunu hurried to Yizhou with five thousand light cavalry.

After all, the Song army has fought for so many days, and Xiao Shunu also wants to get some bargains.

At this moment, five hundred heavy cavalry flashed out of the Song army.
